Vince writes: Chatham publishers Urban Fox Press asked us to play at the launch of their latest three books. Our performance followed a visit to a restaurant which was friendly and comfortable, but cheerfully served the worst Mexican food in the Medway towns area.

We started the gig without knowing if our technology would go into meltdown, as it had in the past. Luckily, all went well except one instrument (an oboe if you must know) which disappeared into the laptop and refused to come out.

Big respect, incidentally, to my friend Ros who left work in Cardiff at 6.30pm and made it to Chatham five minutes before the gig started.
